Buy Box Suppression
Walmart removes the Add-to-Cart button entirely — usually because the listing's price is materially higher than the price-match crawler's reference.
Different from losing the Buy Box to another seller. Suppression means NO seller wins; the product is unbuyable.
Trigger: typically when Walmart's price is 5%+ higher than the cheapest competing retailer (Amazon, Target, BestBuy, the seller's own DTC).
Recovery: drop price within ~1% of the reference. Buy Box typically reappears within 4 hours.
